| CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.G.A.1 - Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes. |
|---|
| CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.G.A.2 - Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape. |
|---|
| CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.G.A.3 - Partition circles and rectangles into two and four equal shares, describe the shares using the words halves, fourths, and quarters, and use the phrases half of, fourth of, and quarter of. Describe the whole as two of, or four of the shares. Understand for these examples that decomposing into more equal shares creates smaller shares. |

| Teaching first-grade math students the curriculum standard on geometry is crucial for developing spatial awareness and problem-solving skills. By learning about shapes, their properties, and their relationships, students enhance their ability to visualize and understand the physical world. Geometry helps children recognize patterns and develop logical reasoning, which are essential for advanced math and science. Additionally, understanding basic geometric concepts fosters creativity and critical thinking, as students explore how shapes fit together and form structures. Mastering geometry at an early age provides a strong foundation for future mathematical learning and real-world applications. |
